Mindflayer

Mindflayers, also known as Illithids, are creatures of incredible intellect who can use their abilities to harm and control other creatures

Depiction of a Mindflayer

Physical

They are of humanoid shape, with four tentacles that snake from their octopus-like hairless heads, flexing in hungry anticipation when sentient creatures come near.

Strengths

We have witnessed these creatures display the ability to:

• generate a blast of mental energy that damages surrounding creatures
• take control of the mind of sentient creatures and use them to their own ends, at least for a short period of time
• attack with their tentacles in close combat, digging them into the skin of their victim, causing massive damage. I shudder to think what might befall an adventurer that was killed in this manner.

Weaknesses

Though formidable opponents, some have been found to have a relatively weak constitution. If the party can survive long enough to deal moderate damage, these creatures can be defeated.
